Review: Beautiful Redemption (Maddox Brothers #2) by Jamie McGuire

BeautifulREDEMPTION

The Maddox Brothers

book 2

Jamie McGuire

Adult / Romance

If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn't love you, first?

No-nonsense
Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her
job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the
field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her
laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director
after cracking an impossible case.

Special Agent in Charge
Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with
putting away some of the world’s toughest criminals, and he is one of
the best the Bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he’s saved,
there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced
with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed
dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis’s
only savior is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his
brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI.

Liis
is stubborn, defiant, and yet somehow softens Thomas’s rough edges,
making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as
a couple, they must travel to Travis & Abby’s beach vow renewal and
give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself
wondering if they were pretending at all.

In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers
books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas
Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the
last.

Review:

I'm loving this series so far! The Maddox brothers are addicting.

This
book follows the story of Thomas (Tommy, TJ) Maddox. He is the oldest
of the brothers and took on most of the responsibilities after their mom
passed away. He helped raise his younger brothers while his dad was
dealing with his wife's death.

You could read this book as a
stand alone, but if your at all interested in reading the series I'd
definitely recommend reading them in order. This is listed as book 2 in
the series, but to get the full story you need to read Beautiful
Disaster, Walking Disaster, Beautiful Oblivion, and then Beautiful
Redemption. (technically making this the 4th book)

After reading
Travis and Trenton's stories I was expecting Thomas to be... well, not
what he is! He surprised me, in a good way. With this book we get more
into the backstory of the boys and a few more things make sense. Also,
this book is a little more adult than the previous books.

I
really liked Liis, she is a strong female character that didn't put up
with anything from anyone. She wasn't emotional and annoying with the
love story like a lot of female characters tend to be. It was
refreshing. One of the previous books kind of gave away the conclusion
to this one so there wasn't as much suspense as there could of been, but
towards the end a twist is thrown at you so fast it'll make your head
spin!
